Summary: Could home-based HIV self-testing have a significant impact on identifying undiagnosed HIV cases in the United States? We argue that while the approval of self-test assays for home use may help, it must be accompanied by significant investment in community outreach and linkage to care in order to make a difference.

Summary: When voters cannot commit to removing politicians with good traits who produce bad outcomes, they may sometimes choose candidates who they believe are less likely to be competent.

Summary: Pigeons tend to choose an alternative that leads to a lower probability of food but provides differential stimuli, rather than an alternative that leads to a higher probability of food but does not provide differential stimuli. Partial signaling of an alternative influences pigeon's preference, as they prefer good news over bad news and prefer 100% food over bad news.

Summary: Parkinson's disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder in the elderly, primarily characterized by motor impairment. The lack of a definitive biomarker for PD has led researchers to focus on the potential role of alpha-synuclein as a key protein in the pathogenesis of the disease. Studies have shown promise in measuring different forms of alpha-synuclein in body fluids and peripheral tissues as a potential biomarker for PD, although methodological issues still need to be addressed through further research.

Summary: Hostile media perception theory suggests that partisans perceive neutral coverage of news by outlets opposite to their political leaning as biased. Two online experiments showed that partisans perceive this bias, but it has limited impact on their willingness to share news from outlets of opposite political leaning.

Summary: Improving vaccination eagerness is crucial, and a new game called COVID-19 Bad News (CBN) was tested to see if spreading fake news about vaccines and the COVID-19 pandemic could improve attitudes toward vaccination. Two experiments were conducted where participants played CBN or Tetris and then evaluated the credibility of vaccine-related statements and filled out a questionnaire about their attitudes. The results showed that playing CBN did not reduce evaluations of unfavorable vaccine statements or enhance readiness to vaccinate.

Summary: This study aims to identify factors associated with becoming homebound among newly diagnosed dementia patients. Analysis of data from the National Health and Aging Trends Study (NHATS) revealed that 20% of newly diagnosed dementia patients were identified as homebound. Compared to non-homebound patients, homebound patients had higher levels of functional impairment, complex medical conditions, and socio-economic disadvantage. The study also found that depression, living in an assisted living facility, and Hispanic ethnicity were associated with becoming homebound.

Summary: A3G is a strong restriction factor for both HIV-1 and HIV-2, while A3C has no restriction potential. A3B exhibits potent antiviral activity against HIV-2 but not HIV-1, indicating different mechanisms for both viruses in antagonizing A3B. HIV-2 Vif targets A3B by reducing its levels and inhibiting its packaging into virions, while HIV-1 Vif does not antagonize A3B.

Summary: This research explores the influence of artificial intelligence (AI) and human marketing agents on consumer responses to negative and positive offers. When faced with offers that are worse than expected, consumers are more willing to accept AI agents, whereas for offers that are better than expected, consumers prefer human agents. The study also found that marketers can anthropomorphize AI agents to strengthen consumer perception of their intentions and receive recognition for better offers while mitigating blame for worse offers.

Summary: Studying the impact of reshared content on Facebook during the 2020 US election, researchers found that removing such content decreases users' exposure to political news, including untrustworthy sources, leads to a decrease in overall clicks and reactions, and reduces partisan news consumption. Furthermore, removing reshared content results in a decline in news knowledge within the sample, although generalizing this to all users remains uncertain. Surprisingly, the treatment does not significantly affect political polarization or individual-level political attitudes.

Summary: Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a genetic disease caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene, leading to muscle wasting. This study suggests that TRPC1 and TRPC3 calcium channels may be potential therapeutic targets for treating DMD, as they are involved in calcium homeostasis alterations. Targeting TRPC3 channel expression and activity could be a promising approach for DMD treatment.

Summary: This study examines the impact of state-level policies on HIV testing behavior and awareness among young men who have sex with men (YMSM) in the United States. The results show that living in a state with restrictive HIV testing policies for minors is associated with a lack of awareness of home-based HIV testing among YMSM.

Summary: This study examines the potential impact of legal vulnerability created by information technology on healthcare screening policies. The findings suggest that underprovisioning of healthcare due to information sharing in the presence of litigation concerns may occur. However, limits on malpractice damages can alleviate this problem.

Summary: The purpose of this systematic review was to assess the available evidence on the re-revision of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (rrACLR). The results showed that multiple revisions of ACLR can achieve acceptable clinical outcomes and low re-rupture rates, but the possibility of regaining pre-injury sports activity is low.
